the 225th Anniversary of the Founding 
of the City of Philadelphia, as 
submitted to His Honor, John E. 
Reyburn, Mayor of the City of 
Philadelphia, on February 15, 1908. 



Attached hereto is the General 
Committee and Sub-Committees, as 
appointed by the Mayor and City 
Councils.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE 

1. That a Celebration to commemorate the 225th 
Anniversary of the Founding of the City of Philadelphia 
should be held. 

2. That the said Anniversary should be called Found- 
ers' Week. 

3. That Founders' Week be held during the week 
beginning- October 4 and ending October 10, 1908. 

4. That during this week loan exhibitions should be 
exhibited in the Conversation Halls, on the second and 
fourth floors of City Hall, where the public could see a 
display of historic interest, such as photographs, parch- 
ments, etc., concerning the City of Philadelphia. 

5. The offices and corridors of City Hall should be 
appropriately and uniformly decorated and thrown open to 
the public for visitation for the entire week, and the office 
force be in a position to explain to the public the various 
routine work carried on in their respective departments, 
and the public should be solicited to visit their City Hall 
during this week. 

6. The Committee requests that some arrangement be 
made by which lamp posts having clusters of electric lights 
could be placed at each side of the entrance to City Hall, 
one on each corner, and if necessary, between the points 
named, these lamp posts to be made of plaster work bronzed 
properly in order to give a permanent elTect. Each lamp 
post should have at least four panels around the base per- 
taining to Philadelphia's history. Also that a plaster hexagon 
be placed in each of the four City Squares, with panels about 
6 x 10 feet, each representing a period of Philadelphia's his- 
tory. Designs, etc., should be left to the proper authorities. 

7. That all historic sites in the City of Philadelphia 
should be marked with a placard and brief description, and as 
far as possible a picture of the building that was formerly 
located on the site. 

8. That merchants are requested to appropriately deco- 
rate their display windows and interiors of their establishments 
with historic effect.

WEEKLY PROGRAM 

Sunday, October 4th 

The Anniversary should start on Sunday, October 4th, 
under the (Hrect manag-ement of the Religious Committee, 
which is composed of the clergymen of tlie various denomi- 
nations. 



Program for Sunday, Octol)er 4, 1908 

1. That the Mayor issue a proclamation asking that 
the clergy throughout the city preach sermons of a historic 
nature. 

2. That the fraternal, military and civic organizations 
attend church in the morning. 

3. That at some specific time, say 2 or 2.45 p. m., the 
Sunday-school scholars throughout the city will sing simul- 
taneously "My Country, 'tis of Thee." 

4. The committee to have erected a stand on the low 
lands of the plateau in front of Belmont Mansion, in Fair- 
mount Park, where the entire clergy of Philadelphia may 
assemble with their wives, and the combined church choirs 
be requested to assemble directly in front of the stand, sub- 
divided in their four parts, thus making the largest choir 
ever massed, approximating 10,000 singers. Surrounding 
them should be the general public, who would occupy the 
summit and hills, so that all could see and all could be seen. 
This service should be held about 4.30 in the afternoon and 
should be a vesper service, where familiar hymns, including 
"Nearer, My God, to Thee," "My Country, 'tis of Thee," 
and other such hymns should be sung, together with prayer, 
addresses and the Chautauqua salute. The music to be led 
by a chorister supported by a double quartette of cornets 
and trombones. It should be the endeavor of the commit- 
tee to make this the largest religious conclave ever held on 
earth. 



5 
Monday, October 5, 1908 

Program to consist of a Reception to the Public by the 
Mayor and his Cabinet, at 3 p. m., in the Reception Room 
at City HalL 

In charge of the committee appointed by Councils. 

A meeting should be held at the Academy of Music in 
the evening, where a proper program should be carried out 
in commemoration of the City's History. 

In charge of the Historical Committee. 



Tuesday, October 6, 1908 

The afternoon of Tuesday, the 6th, should be devoted 
to the municipal and military display. The parade should 
be of such a character as to show the evolution of the 
various municipal departments and military organizations 
of our city, such as the first high constables, police officers, 
fire brigades, military organizations, etc., as they existed 
in the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth 
centuries. Possibly this will be the most forcible way of 
developing the appreciation of the public as to the present 
condition. 

In charge of the Councilmanic and Military Committee. 



Wednesday, October 7, 1908 

The afternoon of Wednesday, the 7th, should be set 
apart for a great industrial and trades display, parading in 
two grand divisions, one going north and the other south.

of the various industries in historic manner. The com- 
mittee desire to request that all features of advertisement 
be eliminated from this demonstration as far as possible, 

In charge of the Industrial Committee.

I 



HISTORICAL COMMITTEE 

The Historical Committee will be comprised of the 
historians and representatives of the various institutions 
of education and art, and the said committee shall have 
full charge : 

1. Of the loan exhibitions to be displayed in City 
Hall. 

2. The marking of historic sites within the confines 
of the old city proper, namely, from South Street to Vine 
Street and between the two rivers. 

3. They are to have full charge of the meeting to be 
held at the Academy of Music on Monday evening of the 
Founders' Week, together with the School Children's Day 
on Thursday of the same week, as well as the full super- 
vision of the historic parade which will be on Friday of 
the same week. 

It is the desire of the Executive Committee that these 
various displays may be so arranged as to show the his- 
toric accuracy and evolution of various historic periods in 
connection with our city. 

RELIGIOUS COMMITTEE 

The Religious Committee, composed of the clergymen 
of the various denominations, are requested to organize in 
a manner that will enable them to carry out a proper observ- 
ance of the Anniversary Service to be held in the city on 
Sunday, October 4, 1908. 

The Executive Committee submit the following pro- 
gram : 

1. That the Mayor issue a proclamation asking that 
historic sermons be preached in every church in the city on 
Sunday morning. 

2. That the fraternal, military and civic organizations 
will attend church in the morning, and further, that at 



some specific time, say 2.30 or 2.45, every Sunday-school 
will sing- simultaneously "My Country, 'tis of Thee." 

3. That the committee have erected a platform on the 
plateau at Belmont Mansion, in Fairmount Park, where the 
entire clerg}' of Philadelj)hia may assemble with the com- 
bined choirs of Philadelphia, properly organized around the 
platform, and that the people of Philadelphia be invited to 
attend, so that V'esper Services may be held at 4 p.m. This 
will make the largest religious conclave, possibly, ever held 
in the world, led by the largest choir that was ever massed. 
Familiar hymns should be used, so that the vast multitude 
could sing under the direction of some leader, led by a 
series of cornets and trumpets ; prayer and addresses could 
be made and the Chautauqua handkerchief salute be given. 
Care should be taken to have this stand so erected that the 
multitude would be on the elevation, so that they could 
see the stand and those on the stand could see the multitude. 

INDUSTRIAL COMMITTEE 

The Industrial Committee to be composed of those 
representing the various industries and business and pro- 
fessional life of Philadelphia, and they are particularly re- 
quested through their various subdivisions to interest the 
manufacturers and business interests generally in Phila- 
delphia toward having a great industrial parade on Wed- 
nesday of the Founders' Week. 

It is the desire of the committee as far as possible to 
have the industrial establishments and business places pre- 
sent a display that will show the evolution of their various 
enterprises, this, possibly, being the most forcible way of 
developing the appreciation of present conditions. This 
parade should be the only one consuming more than one- 
half a day, and that left entirely to the discretion of the 
Industrial Committee. 

It is the desire of the committee to ha\e all parades or 
exhibitions held in the afternoon, in order to enable the 
merchants to transact business in the morning; and by 



9 

dividing this parade into two grand divisions, one march- 
ing north and the other marching sonth at the same time 
on Broad Street, it would enable a tremendous procession 
to be viewed, which would not require them to start before 
I o'clock, if the various divisions and displays were re- 
quired to march in close order, thus preventing a small 
exhibit spreading over an entire square. 

MUNICIPAL AND MILITARY COMMITTEE 

The Committee on Municipal and Military Display 
will be the joint committees of Select and Common Coun- 
cils, together with the Military Committee under Col. E. 
de V. Morrell, Chairman. 

This committee will have full charge of the Reception 
to be held in City Hall on the Monday of Founders' Week, 
and also have full charge of the Municipal and Military 
Display to be held on Tuesday of the same week. 

It is the desire of the Executive Committee that this 
parade should be so arranged as to show the evolution, as 
near as possible, of the various municipal departments and 
military organizations of our city, such as the first high 
constables, the first police officers, the first fire brigades, 
the first military organizations, etc., as indicative of what 
they appeared like in the seventeenth, eighteenth, nine- 
teenth and twentieth centuries, beginning with the seven- 
teenth century and having the climax of the present-day 
conditions. This, possibly, will be the most forcible way 
of developing the appreciation of the public as to present 
conditions. 

This committee will have full power of subdivision in 
whatever manner necessary to enable them to develop the 
most creditable display. 

They also have full charge of the Sports and Field 
Day, which will be Saturday of the same week, the pro- 
gram for this day to be entirely in the hands of this com- 
mittee, subject to the approval of the Executive Committee. 



lO 

NAVAL COMMITTEE 

The Naval Committee shall have full charg^e of the 
naval display on the Delaware River on the 8th of Oetober. 

'IRANSroRTA ri()i\ CoMAiirTRE
